May 31 last date to put up display cards in taxis

The process of affixing display cards in taxis with details of the driver is gaining momentum with the May 31 deadline fast approaching.

The city traffic police had extended the March 31 deadline by two months in view of the Assembly elections.

The traffic police had asked the owners of all taxis (including airport taxis), maxicabs, tempo travellers and cabs of travel agencies, call centres, BPOs, IT companies and other organisations to provide details of their drivers along with their photographs for verification.

The traffic police have said that strict action will be initiated against drivers from June 1 if they do not display the card in their vehicle. Cases will be booked against them under the Motor Vehicles Act.
